Disney Friday

Ryan and I went to Disney on Friday. It was PACKED! When we were driving there the signs said things such as "Disneyland FULL, California Adventure Party Open". We had no idea what was going on, but were hoping that Full didn't mean they weren't going to let us in. We were going to eat in Downtown Disney, but the lines for over an hour and a half wait when you go to put your name in, so we decided to pass and would eat in the park. We got in line to go into the park and heard people murmur about that if you hadn't been in yet that they weren't letting new people in. We were awfully confused. We asked some people what was going on and apparently in California Adventure there was a Trick Or Treat Party with the characters (normally CA Ad closes early, but they were closing at 6 and re-opening at 7:30-11:30 - which meant a ton of more people and half of them dressed up in Halloween costumes). They only had 2 of the gates open to let people in, but after waiting in line for a bit we were finally let in. We decided to grab some fast passes for Big Thunder Railroad (it is so fun at night) and grab some food. It really was FULL! We decided after we rode the ride that we would go wait for the fireworks (it was already about 9 by this time). We got some good seats (well, good pavement to sit on, hehe). THE FIREWORKS WERE SOOOO AWESOME! I told Ryan that I liked them more than the normal fireworks. They had Zero (from Nightmare Before Christmas) flying (instead of Tinkerbell), they had tons of lights on the castle, they had a HUGE ball that they projected Jack and other 'scary' characters on. It was PRETTY COOL. I took a few pictures and a video. The video started going blurry the last few seconds, but I think the first few seconds are pretty cool.

Check out the rest of the pictures here.
